CLASS PROPH ECY The Physics Class of '53 has just invented a crystal ball which enables us to view the Class of '53 in many parts of the universe twenty years from the day of graduation. As the mist clears from the globe we see members of our class in every part of the uni- verse doing every imaginable thing. As we look into the crystal ball, we see Lester Wil- son, the Service Station magnate, seated at his desk in his ultra, ultra, modern office in the Wilson Building, counting his millions while bouncing his private secretary, Eliza- beth Di Giovanni, on his knee in a true executive manner. Willie Baldwin has just driven by the building in his supersonic Jet-a-Buick V-l2, the latest model in cars, which fin case you are interestedl, Mr. Baldwin invented and has made himself a small pile. Next to the Wilson Building is the Correri World Fruit Exchange, which specializes in Jet-Delivered Moononic Fruit. It is a well-known fact that Mrs. Correri and their 12 Bambinos are quite proud of Pappa. In the park, we see a striking monument, a dedication to Richard Williams for his fabulous new dictionary, which has replaced the famous, but outdated, Webster's. fExcerpts from the famous Unabridged Dictionary in- clude: Gullible-a type of seagull, Neophyte-a type of shoe leather . . . etc.j All this praise has not affected our Richard as he still goes on his merry way. Vincenti's Men's Beauty Salon fThe Exclusivej is the only establishment of its kind in the country having a machine which enables Flip to cut 50 heads at one time with only a flick of a dial. His chief manicurist is Mildred McCoy who is happily married to one of the famous Hatfield'sg and due to this marriage, the Hatfield-McCoy feud has ceased. Ward Taylor has now replaced Jack Benny on radio and TV, and comparable to the old Maxwell is his '49 Nash. Looking down Vine Street in Hollywood, who do we see at the street corner but Carey Snyder watching the babes go by . . . While in California we gaze at the famous Santo Di Mauro race trackg formerly Santa Anita,now owned by the world-renowned racing enthusiast,Francis Di Mauro. Arthur and Sue have now been married for 10 hears and have raised a full basketball team of seven-foot boys. Joyce Ely has married the most eligible bachelor in the U. S., John Cadillac, a mil- lionaire. She is now the society leader of Aldino. Donald Garland, the man who ghost wrote Lil Abner, has now brought out his own comic strip, Little Abercrombie. The Republicans and Democrats together went down to an ignominious defeat at the hands of the Prohibitionists' Party, led by that ardent dry candidate - Kent Stewart. Gloria Bloom world's fastest typist and new speed champion of shorthand, has just been hired by Dr. Burkett Martin, founder and director of the Martin Dental Clinic, who has just invented Snug Uppers. While traipsing around in the medical field, we happened to hear about Dr. W. T. Foley who just underbid Read's and Rexall for the lnterplanetary Drug Store Chain. Harriet Fox, an asset to any man's secretarial staff, has just been hired by Monte Silverstein who is President of thatnation-wide chain of department stores, Emanuel and Sons--which has bought out Macy's, Gimbels', and Marshall Field combined. Jeanne Preston is now playing on the basketball team--The All American Red- Heads. Barbara Beachley has tread more pedestrians than any three female Pennsylvania drivers. Mildred Dry, who has replaced J. Edgar Hoover as head of the F.B,I,, has finally proven the theory that a person can hold his breath for three months funder H201 and live. While looking around Washington and coming upon the White House, we remember that way back in 1952 it was repainted. Well! John R. Himes is now the magnate of the painting industry, and the White House is again being redone. The green room is now the chartreuse room, the blue room is now the aquamarine roomg and the red room, the fire-engine-red room. On a street corner we pick up a DeBaugh Chronicle, owned and edited by our own Melvin DeBaugh. On the society page we see the pictures of Gloria Harris, Superinten- dent of Nurses at Harford Memorial Hospital--the great medical research center, the l 16
